Question

QBO First Bank

Anyone else having issues connecting to their bank that won't get resolved? Quickbooks hasn't connected to my bank since 1/7. It just keeps saying the connection isn't available. I can't even try to re-log in, when I try to edit the sign in info it says it's currently unavailable. It's been fine for over a year until now.

Thanks for joining us here in the Community, LSLK LLC.

 

I want to make sure you're able to connect to your bank in QuickBooks Online. 

 

There are a few troubleshooting steps to try to refresh the connection between your bank and QBO:

 

  1. Refresh the Connection in QBO:
    • Go to the Banking or Transactions tab.
    • Select the specific First Bank account and click Update or the pencil icon to edit.
    • Follow prompts to re-enter your bank login details and MFA codes if asked.
  2. Check Your Bank's Website:
    • Sign in to First Bank online separately from QBO.
    • Look for security alerts or messages about new requirements (like MFA) or maintenance.
  3. Clear Browser Data:
  4. Verify Bank Name:
    • When adding or connecting, search for the exact name First Bank uses online to avoid using a generic or wrong name, suggests Intuit support.

Additionally, the following article provides more info about connecting bank and credit card accounts to QuickBooks Online.

 

Please give these steps a try and let me know how things look afterward. I'll be here if you have any other questions.

I am having the same issue. I have done all the suggested fixes. QBO still cannot sign in. I can use the same credentials to sign in to my First Bank account online and login fine.
